Chapter 209: Carmen

The moon is dark and the wind is high at night, when people are killed and set on fire.

In the darkest corner of the school, Wang Lu couldn't help but shudder.

Tonight's cold style is cold outside, and it has been cold to Wang Lu's heart.

What gave him goosebumps even more was that the true identity of Mr. Wu, who was standing beside him, was a killer, and at this distance, the other party should have more than a hundred means to make him the victim Wang.

There may even be the kind where the body can't even be found.

"Teacher Wu, actually, today's incident is just a simple misunderstanding, I really broke into the girls' dormitory just to investigate the supernatural incident."

"I know."

After making sure that there was no one around, Teacher Wu spoke, "What's wrong with Zhou Lili?" ”

"Although we can't be completely sure yet, it is very likely that she was bitten by a white worm, and the symptoms of the bite may be forgetfulness of knowledge."

"No wonder."

Teacher Wu muttered.

When she was in class today, she felt that Zhou Lili's behavior was a little weird, and now it seems that it was not her judgment that was wrong, but that Zhou Lili had encountered an unusual incident.

When Teacher Wu was about to go home from work, she happened to see Wang Lu who was doing business across the street, and Gu Yun, who was already sitting next to Wang Lu without saying a word, had an intuition that something was wrong with her, so she temporarily changed her plan and kept correcting her homework in the office until Wang Lu was escorted out of the student dormitory by the dormitory manager aunt and the doorman.

"So, you just wanted to make sure if there were any traces of being bitten on Zhou Lili's body?"

"Ouch, Mr. Wu, someone can finally understand my good intentions!"

Wang Lu was also aggrieved in his heart, he didn't go back to his home this big night, so he kept investigating the case here, and as a result, he was still regarded as a criminal, is it easy for him?

Fortunately, the experience of being arrested by security guards made Wang Lu quickly adjust his mentality.

Being a human being should be forward-looking, being misunderstood, this is the treatment that the profession of removing spirits will encounter at any time, and if everyone is an expert in dealing with supernatural events, they should also be laid off.

"Come to my office, there's instant coffee."

"Good!"

Although Mr. Wu has always had a straight face, he is really a good person!

Caring about classmates, considerate of others, typical knife-mouthed tofu heart, believing him when everyone thought he was a pervert who broke into the girls' dormitory, and invited him to the office to drink a cup of instant coffee to suppress the shock.

Wang Lu suddenly felt warm in his heart.

Of course, it would be better if Mr. Wu could open up to him.

…………………………

"In other words, based on your current speculation, the students' knowledge was stolen and eaten by that white worm?"

Mr. Wu brought the steaming coffee to Wang Lu, and by the way, summarized his words along the way.

A worm that can steal and eat students' knowledge, it is tantamount to the sworn enemy of teachers.

This concept doesn't sound like an ordinary worm, but more like a worm in a computer.

"It's still speculation, and a friend of mine was almost bitten by this worm that grew out of a book, so I made this speculation...... However, if a similar monster grows in the students' books, it must be stopped in time, because we can't be sure if it will cause other symptoms. ”

Wang Lu said worriedly, as soon as he thought that worms would crawl out of the books and gnaw at the students after nightfall, he felt that he should do something immediately.

"Perhaps...... They don't just eat knowledge. ”

Teacher Wu suddenly spoke.

"Teacher Wu, if you have any opinions, you might as well say it directly."

"The question is, where do the worms carry the knowledge after they eat it?"

There is no such thing as amnesia in this world that is only about knowledge, and Wang Lu and the others have never found any clues about these worms in any books or documents before.

In the real world, bookworms are insects that breed in old books, but they don't attack humans.

But if you expand the scope a bit, you can find some different clues.

"You mean stealing knowledge?"

Wang Lu was stunned, and the group of them had been investigating anxiously all day, but they had never considered this problem.

"In the past decade or so, there have been similar incidents in cities A, C, D, and S, and some business leaders claim that someone 'stolen' their ideas, but in the end, most of them are explained by intermittent amnesia, and it is gone."

These grievances, which could not be resolved through legal channels, eventually turned into commissions on the accounts of the reef.

It's normal for the Foundation not to know about this, after all, none of the parties involved treat this as a supernatural event, hypnotism and psychotoxins can explain these short-term symptoms, and the ultimate goal of finding the reef is not to mediate, but to let their competitors die.

Throughout the process, the reef discovers a group of thieves hiding in the shadows.

As long as the employer can afford to pay, the organization, known as Carmen, can steal all the targets of the commission.

Treasures, calligraphy and paintings, business plans, people, and even ideas.

I don't know how they do it, but they seem to be able to pry open people's brains and steal all the ideas, technologies, and knowledge.

The first commission Mr. Wu received when he joined the reef was issued by a desperate master builder.

Overnight, he went from being a nationally renowned expert to a fool who didn't even understand the science of infrastructure, and the target of the commission was his own protégé.

In fact, in the process of carrying out the commission, Ms. Wu did not meet any of Carmen's members, and as far as she knew, no one in the reef had ever dealt with Carmen.

Carmen is more stealthy than the reef, they come and go without a trace, never leaving a trace.

It's just that......

The people who were once patronized by Carmen were all political and business leaders, or top people in a certain field, why would they extend their minions to students who have nothing to do with the underworld?

Or was it just that she was overthinking, that these worms were some kind of new species that had not yet been documented by the Foundation, and that they had nothing to do with Carmen?

…………………………

At the same time, the cubicles of the Internet café outside the school.

Ma Haotian wore headphones and stared intently at the screen when gunshots staggered, and his screen turned black and white.

"What kind of garbage teammate is this!"

He cursed, and was about to match the next sentence, but suddenly felt a little itchy feeling on the side of his face.

As soon as Ma Haotian turned his head, he saw the woman who appeared beside him at some point, and the itchy feeling came from the long hair on his face.

"You're not very good at it, how is it? Do you want me to help you steal the skills of those veteran players out there? ”

"Huh, it turned out to be you, scared me to death, I thought it was Teacher Wu who found it."

Ma Haotian patted his chest weakly, this sister walked as silently as Teacher Wu.

Looking at the other party's pretty side face, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

For a moment, he suddenly had the feeling of being in love.

"You can even steal someone else's technology?"

Ma Haotian was a little unconvinced.

"What's not to do? As long as there is something real in this world, it can be stolen, but the means are different. ”

"I don't believe it...... Unless you steal it and show it to me! ”

"It's okay to show you, but you haven't paid me the price of your last commission, have you?"

The girl winked mischievously and said, "It's enough for you to get into the top ten years of knowledge, you say, how much should I charge you?" ”
